How can I study dentistry and oral health?

We are committed to lifelong learning, offering options for students seeking to enter a career in dentistry and oral health or for dental professionals looking to progress at all stages of their career.

This is a seven-year, full-time course for high school leavers with outstanding results and a passion for improving people's lives through oral health. You will first complete a Bachelor of Science (Advanced) (three years) before entering the Doctor of Dental Medicine (four years). Entry for this course is highly competitive.

This is a four-year, full-time graduate entry course. As a graduate of the DMD you are eligible for immediate registration with the Dental Board of Australia. This program is available to applicants who have completed a recognised undergraduate degree in any discipline.

We also offer further postgraduate training for dentists who have completed at least two years of general practice. The completion of the Primary Fellowship Examination of the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons (RACDS) or its equivalent is highly desirable.

Population Oral Health units of study are offered through the Master of Public Health or the Master of Global Health degrees at the Sydney School of Public Health. Students must include the following three dental elective units in their program of study: Preventive Dentistry, Dental Health Services, and Population Oral Health.
